Hi everyone.
I have a question about the use magic device skill. My sorcerer (level 10) has picked up a staff of healing for use in emergencies. He can automatically make the DC20 skill check to activate the staff but what caster level do spells from the staff use?
A staff normally used the staff's CL or the wielders caster level, whichever is higher. My sorcerer has no levels in a divine spell casting class.
Are spells cast at the staff's CL (CL 8), my sorcerers level (CL 10) or do I need to use the 'use magic device' skill to 'emulate a class feature' (CL=skill check-20)?
If I use the cure serious wounds spell from the staff to harm undead do I use my sorcerer's charisma or wisdom to calculate saves vs. the staff and what caster level would I use to overcome spell resistance?
Thanks for your help
